DWI and Road Rage a Scary Mix After Lengthy Car Chase

May 21, 2024 by Matthew Reisig

In what police are calling a drunken road rage incident, a 25-year-old Robbinsville man stands accused of chasing another vehicle through several municipalities while trying to run it off the road with his Ford F-150 truck on March 29. The incident, which terrified the other driver for miles, ended in the parking lot of West Manheim Elementary School, but during the event, police were inundated with 911 calls from drivers who were witnessing the 25-year-olds anger-fueled conduct in real time.

During the chase, the other driver twice pulled over to let the 25-year-old pass him, but both times he also stopped. The second time, when the unnamed man stopped in a church parking lot of Hobart Road, the 25-year-old got out of his truck and approached in a threatening manner. The man eventually ended up making a lucky turn onto Heritage Drive, which bought him a bit of time, and was able to hide behind a house.

He wasn’t alone in being shocked and frightened. the 25-year-old drove past the home several times, striking parked cars and mailboxes as he did, but other witnesses had followed the 25-year-old and were keeping police abreast of events as he went. When police finally caught up to him in the elementary school parking lot, they found him outside of the vehicle, “stumbling around” and seemingly “heavily intoxicated.” There were several open containers of alcohol in the vehicle.

Police say the 25-year-old failed field sobriety tests and refused blood or breath testing. He’s facing a litany of charges, including stalking, reckless endangerment, DWI, reckless driving, careless driving, tailgating, passing illegally, two counts of harassment, three counts of hit and run, and one count of having an open container in his vehicle. He’s currently free of $25,000 bail.

If you’re facing multiple charges related to a DWI incident, drunk driving may be the least of your concerns. Reisig Criminal Defense & DWI Law, LLC has helped more than 1,300 New Jersey drivers avoid conviction on DWI and related charges. Call 732-378-9272 today for a free consultation.

Driver Coughs on Cops During DWI Stop, Tells Them She Has Covid-19

March 20, 2020 by Matthew Reisig

DWI stops don’t bring out the best in anyone, but one particular stop in Hanover, New Jersey, on March 12 took a turn that’s had a big impact on cops and the driver. Lea Piazza, 28, was arrested for DWI, careless driving, and reckless driving that Thursday, and during processing, she repeatedly coughed on the officers close by. They asked her to cover her mouth and stop coughing, but instead of complying, she said, “Oh, by the way, I have the coronavirus and so do you now.”

She went on to tell them that her boyfriend in New York also has Covid-19, forcing three Hanover police officers into self-quarantine. Further investigation revealed that neither Piazza nor her boyfriend have the Covid-19 virus. Aside from her traffic matters, she was also charged with causing a false public alarm.

If you can stay cool during a traffic stop, that’s always the best strategy. If you’re charged with drunk driving, talk to a lawyer who can help. Call Matthew Reisig today at 732-625-9660 to talk to an experienced New Jersey DWI defense lawyer for free.

Can I Lose My Driver’s License If I Get A Boating DWI In New Jersey?

July 2, 2015 by Matthew Reisig

Yes, now that the summer months are upon us, it’s important that operators of boats, jetskis, and other watercraft realize that the rules of the water are the same as the rules of the road, and that if you are caught operating a vessel while under the influence, you face the same penalties you would if you were pulled over after a night at a bar.

That includes loss of your driver’s license.

This can seem like an excessive penalty for someone enjoying an afternoon with friends on the water, but the good news is that boating DWI cases are harder for prosecutors to prove.

Various factors may give the appearance of intoxication, when in fact a person is experiencing exhaustion from the sun, excessive heat, or even motor control issues from the motion of the boat.

An experienced New Jersey DWI attorney can make the strongest case for you in a boating DWI case, and often prevent serious penalties like loss of your driver’s license.

Call Matthew Reisig today at 732-625-9660 for a free consultation with an experienced New Jersey boating DWI lawyer.

Are DUI Checkpoints Legal In New Jersey?

June 9, 2014 by Matthew Reisig

Yes, so-called Sobriety Checkpoints are legal in the state of New Jersey, but it’s important that you understand your rights if you come upon one.

First, you do have the right to turn around using a legal U-turn, or to turn off onto another street rather than drive through the checkpoint.

You are not obligated to proceed through a DWI checkpoint in New Jersey.

Second, if you do proceed through the checkpoint, you must provide police with your driver’s license and registration. Driving is not a constitutionally protected activity, and when you operate a motor vehicle on New Jersey roads, you are providing consent for this type of inquiry.

However, you are not obligated to answer additional questions posed by police.

If you are asked things like, “So, where are you going?” or, “Had anything to drink tonight?” you are allowed to politely refuse to be questioned.

Police may also ask to search your vehicle. Again, you are entitled to decline a search at a sobriety checkpoint. Doing so may feel risky, but politely asserting your rights is legal and acceptable.

If you are arrested at a DWI checkpoint, you retain the right to politely refuse to answer questions without an attorney present.

Then make sure you call Matthew Reisig at 732-625-9660 for help from one of the most experienced DUI defense lawyers in New Jersey.

In New Jersey, What Is Post Conviction Relief (PCR)?

September 4, 2012 by Matthew Reisig

Post Conviction Relief is New Jersey’s version of Habeas Corpus, which gives individuals one more chance to appeal their case in a court after their conviction.

The official language of PCR is set forth in New Jersey Court Rule 7:10-2. An individual has 5 years from the date of their conviction to file a PCR.

If you or someone you know have questions concerning the appeals process in New Jersey, contact Reisig & Associates at 732-625-9660 for a free consultation.
